Bleed Ur Knives Dry
04:08
|
|||
just like a dove on fire
correct flight isn't possible
in weather i wasn't built for
i try to hear you sigh
as soon as it's barely audible
i left a rag on the window sill
so you can bleed your knives dry
in spending so much time
the degradation material
i never found it so beautiful
just like a dog on fire
the rind and bark rotting visceral
i saw myself on the carousel
and you can bleed your knives dry

Turn the Music Down
01:48
|
|||
everyone talking in circles don't know what they're saying
everyone barks at the sky till the band starts playing
hey man turn the fucking music down
it got so loud that i could barely hear myself
hey man turn the fucking music down so
everyone can hear the faint and ugly sounds
everyone standing around like a circle of flame
i often wonder how long it can keep them in place
hey man turn the fucking music down
it got so loud i'd sworn i'd died and gone to hell
hey man turn the fucking music down so
everyone can hear the noise that's all around

Food of the Gods
02:43
|
|||
getting high every morning
just to live with myself
don't you know what i'm saying
eat the food of the gods
and find a soul that's pure and golden
you know i live for stormy weather
getting lost in the evening
don't you know where i'm from
shit might get pretty ugly
eat the food of the gods
and walk a path that's pure and golden
you know i live for simple pleasure

and through the demons of circumstance
and what a shame it is
to laugh at what a game it is we play with idle hands
demons of circumstance
the song evokes a dance
the children of the pastor frown their feet all pointed in
and through the demons of circumstance
i don't know how to dance
but if i could i'd show you how and take your broken hand
demons of circumstance
the heart's a holy gland
that wasn't meant for apertures or making them for man
cut down the figurine
one man an effigy
two animals a kingdom
and through the demons of circumstance
such a shame to feel anything at all

Goodnight Daydream
04:49
|
|||
it's a sign of the shape that we're in when the clouds seem so above us
i turned on a lamp in a room where your hand had felt like velvet
i was smoking outside and looking off at your eyes and how they wandered
cause it's dark without light so the sight of the night you must've pondered
it's a sign of the times when you sigh as you pass into each other
darling
don't take away from me
far as the eye can see
morningoodnightdaydream
surely
i'll make my life complete
work out a masterpiece
show you just what i mean
it's a sign of the times and your head is just fine upon your shoulders
this perception of mine will be a memory in time once that i'm older
i look to my left and i grin and i laugh now that we're colder
cause it's a sign of the shape that you're in when your heart can't push you forward

A Place Where You Belong
06:00
|
|||
i wish they gave us words when there's nothing else to say
i know you weren't ready for this occasion
the time we spent together was the time you spent away
i know you're not prepared to put your best suit on
"don't smile, don't smile" i said with some degree of harsh sympathy and lowered my own to see your face, naked and cloaked in jets that streamed and screamed until i could not tell your face from water's shape, its grace, its natural state
and why are you crying
i'll take you to a place i think where you belong

Animal Kingdom
06:56
|
|||
all these animals of mine need animals too
all these animals alive remind me of you
all these animals need water
warm enough to guide their
i don't understand instinctual
love to watch the zoo
all these animals i tend to kind of exude
animal intentions thoughts desires and moods
all these animals need water
warm enough to rouse their
everlasting hearts hysterical
love to watch the zoo

little world understanding itself
i will keep you alive yeah
hungry little worm
drinks itself to death
hour after hour
after minute
and after all it's just a
numbers game
facts game
it is what it is
little boy looking out through himself
your heart is surrounded
by angry bitter men
working themselves to death
hour after hour
after minute
and after all it's just a
numbers game
facts game
it is what it is

Old King Cole

old king cole of the willows
i've seen your face, i know the games you play
sweet songs on the fiddle
and we'd all dance and smile
like there's no reason to cry
like nothing ever happened to make that face so blue
on such a sunny day
if i could be a fiddle player too
i'd gently approach
old king cole of the willows
and ask him please, how do you make your art
so fucking coherent
when you're playing with a broken heart
like the stars are falling apart
like nothing's gonna happen to make the world slow down
what's the point in singing songs
if you want to hear the ones to make you smile
i'd ask you all to go and walk through the willows
and ask for old king cole

Water Pt. 2
07:26
|
|||
i have reason to believe
it doesn't only rain
rain because it's cold
now i understand
words said in a dream
i was only five
distant memory
i would help you if i could
open up your heart
there's a reason why
water doesn't taste like anything
but it feels so good
just the way it should
all these animals of mine need animals
mother daughter father son
